WisCon!

I had such a lovely WisCon. It was my first in-person convention since 2019, and I didn't know what to expect, but it was a lot of fun, and so nice to see friends and colleagues I hadn't seen in years. I was on four panels, plus a wonderful group reading for Fantasy Magazine. At the Sign Out, I signed a surprising number of my books. (It was my first in-person appearance for Can't Find My Way Home since it came out in January 2022, so this was especially gratifying.) I was happy to spend time in Madison again (though I ate too much cheese and too many rich desserts!).

The Covid safety protocols at the con were quite good. Three people tested positive during the con (I assume that they'd had Covid when they arrived, but only became symptomatic later), but so far I haven't heard of anyone becoming infected there. Dealing with airports and air travel amid the mostly maskless hordes was not fun, and I will try never to fly through Dallas again (they switched my terminal three times for my flight home), but WisCon made the hassle worth it.
